| Abstract | The nuclear industries often use robotic arms in master-slave manipulators. Here, the range of instruments and objects that the gripper may be required to handle vary significantly on case to case basis. Often a robotic arm's end-effecter has to grip sensitive instruments and tools for carrying out inspection or some 'operation' in 'hot' areas. Other times it may have to handle heavy tools or parts to perform assembly or fabrication tasks. The robotic arms are expected to grasp these devices, some of them quite delicate, using its grippers gently, yet firmly. This calls for a gripper that is gentle yet smart enough to hold unknown objects without letting it slip. The problem is to grasp the objects without knowing its weight or surface friction in advance. This requires the detection of slip well in advance --before it becomes unmanageable, particularly when the arm is in motion generating centrifugal forces. In other industries, the robotic arms are used exclusively for some repetitive fixed tasks and they need to apply just a fixed gripping force, well calibrated for handling only a specific object. Naturally, commercially available grippers do not offer controlled gripping feature. We propose in this paper, a slip-less gripper that works by acquiring the information about the forces acting on the object in real time. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
